A Valley pastor has posted a video on Youtube.com showing him getting tasered and forcefully removed from his car by DPS officers.It happened on April 14th during a routine Border Patrol traffic stop about 60 miles north of the U.S/Mexican border.
Steve Anderson had his personal camcorder rolling when officers ordered him out of his vehicle after a canine provided probable cause for the agents to conduct a secondary search. Anderson refused to get out.
That's when authorities busted his car window and deployed the taser. The camera dropped to the floor and all you could see was blackness with sounds of Anderson screaming in pain.
"They're just torturing me with these tasers again and again," Anderson said. They're stepping on my head� They're shoving my face in broken glass for no reason. I wasn't resisting them. I wasn't fighting back. I was limp�just begging for mercy."
The Baptist pastor was arrested and charged with resisting an order and obstructing a highway. When the agents and officers searched his car, they found nothing.
"Nothing, because all I had was tools," said Anderson. "I didn't have any drugs. I didn't have a human body in my car."
DPS says the case is underway and they have no comment at this time.
